A: It's essential to address this serious issue promptly. You have valuable evidence that shows misconduct by the college, including fraudulent financial actions and bullying.

First, consult with an attorney who specializes in education law or consumer protection. They can help you navigate this complex situation and advise you on the best legal course of action.

Consider reporting the college's actions to relevant authorities, such as the Department of Education and your state's attorney general's office. They can investigate the misuse of government funds and other illegal activities.

Maintain clear records of all interactions with the college, including emails, documents, and any evidence related to your enrollment status. These records will be crucial in building your case.

Do not comply with any attempts to pressure or manipulate you. Your attorney can guide you on how to respond to these tactics legally.

Finally, continue attending your classes and document your active participation. If you're being wrongly marked as withdrawn, this evidence can be vital in ensuring your graduation on the scheduled date.

Remember, it's essential to consult with a legal professional who can provide tailored advice based on your specific circumstances.
